Those tiny aches and pains that rotate from one joint to the next depending on how you slept or how you popped out of bed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Generally while moving about during the day those tiny little reminders take a break and if you are doing something that you enjoy (like playing golf) then they actually almost disappear.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Being aware of the political and social situations taking place here and in other parts of the world create a different type of pain awareness.</i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When you know there is nothing you can personally do to alter anything going on between countries and leaders of those countries...as there is nothing you can do to alter the divisions that exist within our own government...then the pain takes on a life of its own.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At home we have trusted that elections decide outcomes. In many other countries elections don't really determine who has the power. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;"><b>In 2024 elections have suddenly become a weird event.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-size: large;">With the addition of AI we are about to witness a Presidential election that will baffle the minds and hearts of responsible voters. Keep in mind that 74 million people voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election so responsible voting isn't always the mandate.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You do realize that he still hasn't conceded that election and that his supporters still think the election was stolen from him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I actually talk to a few people on a regular basis that believe he wasn't responsible for the attack on the Capital on January 6 2021. They also believe those weren't MAGA people inside the building but Antifa people dressed in MAGA clothing and gear.</span></p><p><span style="color: #fce5cd; font-size: large;"><i>I've watched the morning talks with John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump TWICE and there is no doubt what they were trying to do.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">AND YET HIS SUPPORTERS DON'T THINK HE WANTED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT. THEY SIMPLY THINK HE WAS EXHIBITING HIS RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>And after 723 indictments and 454 incarceration's his supporters still think he did nothing wrong...AND THAT THE OBVIOUS INSURRECTION WAS EXAGGERATED.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And we are entering an election season where certain states are trying to keep him off the primary ballots but remember the Supreme Court is 6-3 on his team so those attempts will most likely fail.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I know I should be concerned by actions talking place in the Middle East and The Ukraine but our situation at home probably has bigger ramifications for the future of peace and prosperity on a global scale because after all is said and done..........</span></p><p><span style="color: #ead1dc; font-size: large;"><i>We are the at the top of the food chain and there's a reason all those people are trying to cross our borders.</i></span></p><p><span style="color: #d9d2e9; font-size: large;"><b>Except for a beautiful chalet on the side of a village in Switzerland where else would <i>you</i> want to live?</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: x-large;"><b>Happy New Year</b></span></p>Michael Timothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826595136222286673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211332494518837629.post-45613147872033903022023-12-08T07:46:00.000-08:002023-12-08T07:46:37.970-08:00In case you were wondering.....<p> The last post where I said <b>Check it out</b> is referring to a web site called <b>Big Talk</b> or <b>Make Big Talk</b>.

I don't ever remember that happening but I've only been paying close attention since 1958.</p><p>During the off-season the Dodger front office gave us every indication that this would be a year where the young studs in their farm system would get some opportunities.</p><p>I'm pretty sure they didn't think there would be<i> this many</i> opportunities but alas that is exactly what is happening.</p><p>Two of the biggest surprises have been players that haven't seen their rookie seasons in quite awhile.</p><p><b>Justin Hayward</b> and<b> David Peralta </b></p><p><b>J.D. Martinez</b> is not a surprise because he has always been good.</p><p>Justin Hayward's last five season's have been horrible and now once again he is a stud.</p><p><b>The pitching staff has been slammed by injuries and new arms are introducing themselves.</b></p><p><b>Bobby Miller, Gavin Stone, Michael Grove</b> and<b> Emmet Sheehan</b> have done a very adequate job of replacing Walker Buehler, Julio Urias, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin and Ryan Pepiot as well as Noah Syndergaard and now Clayton Kershaw.</p><p>After ten years of leading the division this year will prove a huge challenge because other teams have young players that are also getting their chance and are responding. The Arizona Diamondbacks are a total surprise and San Diego has underperformed so far but they have a lineup that should prove very tough during the second half.</p><p>Baseball is game of streaks and the Dodgers last 10 years have been wonderful. Of course I'm talking about the regular season which is 162 games. The other season, which requires an additional 11 or 12 victories has been a total success only once....in 2020.</p><p><b><span style="color: #d9ead3;">Can the Dodgers win the World Series in 2023?</span></b></p><p>Two things about baseball......there's no crying and there's no predicting. Just ask Dave Roberts about last year during spring training. Big mistake Dave!</p><p>Of course the Dodgers can win the World Series.....but so can Tampa Bay, Texas, Houston, San Diego, Minnesota, New York, Atlanta, Cleveland and Cincinnati.....whoa.....wait just a sec. Cinny was 2000 to 1 before the season started and they currently lead the Central division and apparently have the greatest young player since Mickey Mantle.</p><p>Mr. Otani of the Angels has something to say about that. He is in a class of his own and the rumors keep saying he might be a Dodger next year. I find it hard to believe they would spend $500 MILLION but then again the owners have more money than Warren Buffet so who knows.</p><p>Can the Dodgers win the World Series?</p><p><span style="color: #f4cccc;">THE REAL QUESTION TO BE ASKED IS....</span></p><p><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-size: large;"><i>CAN THE DODGERS REACH THE PLAYOFFS?</i></span></p><p>And as always I say the same thing I've said since 1958/</p><p><span style="color: #ead1dc;">I sure hope so!</span></p><p>One thing I'm really ready for is a summer winning streak and hopefully it started last night with a 5-2 win over the surprising Pittsburg Pirates who are only 4 games behind Cincinnati.</p><p>The teams that should respond in the second half of 2023 are Philadelphia, St. Louis and the New York Yankees.</p><p>July 4 to October 1 is the greatest time for <b>Major League Baseball</b> and I'm ready to play coach......put me in.</p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;">Go Dodgers!</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Michael Timothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826595136222286673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211332494518837629.post-26220103747200094842023-06-21T10:19:00.011-07:002023-06-26T06:56:14.007-07:00Not enough kudos<p><b>Last week a great American passed away and there just wasn't a big enough deal about his life and what he accomplished.</b></p><p><span style="color: #04ff00;">It's truly not a ridiculous statement to say that </span><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Daniel Ellsberg</span><span style="color: #04ff00;">, <i>as a lone individual,</i> was the most important human being that stopped the Viet-Nam war.</span></p><p>Of course there were numerous groups that made their displeasure known such as <i>student protesters</i>, <i>draft dodgers</i> and <i>Veterans against the War</i> but without <b>Dr. Ellsberg's </b>conscious awakening that misguided war might have gone on for many more years.</p><p>There are multiple sources to enlighten you about his life including his own website.</p><p><a href="https://www.ellsberg.net/"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ellsberg</span></a><br /></p><p>If you didn't own a copy of the <b>Pentagon Papers</b> then I highly suggest picking up a copy and try to accept the reality that America doesn't always have humanities well being at the center of her actions.</p><p><span face=""Google Sans", Roboto, arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #ff00fe; font-size: 20px;"><i>"The Pentagon Papers, officially titled Report of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Vietnam Task Force, is a United States Department of Defense history of the United States' political and military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967."</i></span></p><p><span face=""Google Sans", Roboto, arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 20px;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p>It always comes down to who has the power at the time in question.
